Elite men's World Championship road race start list
Full list of starters, with race numbers, for the 2015 UCI World Championships men's road race in Richmond on Sunday, September 27
The official list of riders taking part in the 2015 UCI World Championships men's road race has been released.
A total of 191 riders from around the globe are scheduled to start the race on Sunday, September 27, in Richmond, Virginia, USA.
The number of riders in each nation's team is dependent on qualification criteria, with the maximum number being nine. Although Great Britain qualified nine places, they only field eight riders due to the late withdrawal of Mark Cavendish with injury.
Defending world champion Michal Kwiatkowski (Poland) has been designated the number one plate.
For our pick of the leading contenders, see our World Championships 2015 road races preview.

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
